Zurn PEX® vs. CPVC
Zurn PEX ® Plumbing Systems
PEX was developed to replace rigid and non-corrosion resistant water distribution materials such as CPVC and Copper.
The Zurn PEX system demonstrates these advantages over CPVC:
• PEX is faster and easier to install, cutting labor costs
• PEX is flexible, reducing the number of 90 degree fittings by 70%
• PEX is less brittle and is freeze damage resistant, avoiding costly ruptures
• PEX does not require use of potentially harmful glues or solvents
• PEX has a 25 year warranty
• PEX is corrosion resistant and can be installed directly in concrete as directed in the installation manual
• PEX dampens water noise and reduces water hammer in pipe systems
• PEX has no weakening of fittings since PEX uses crimping methods instead of glues and solvents
• PEX is available in multiple colors for color coded piping systems
• PEX pricing is very stable
• PEX does not require MSDS reports unlike primers and solvent cements
• PEX facilitates water and energy saving manifold (home run) plumbing systems
